If we get up tomorrow I’d be happy if we go in the GF as underdog.

    Rance whinging for free kicks with 3 minutes to go.

    The game's biggest [censored] and IMO one of its most over-rated players.

    Forget just current day. He’s one of the most overrated players of all time.

    Sidebottom had 41 touches with only 6 contested. That is poor coaching - had to send a tag to him.

    Make no mistake, after we win tomorrow, The Nut goes to Him next week

    Why are there empty seats next to the MCC if its a sell out?? Never got that..

    They are the seats the West Coast supporters purchased, but didn’t attend to silence the crowd.

    Seeing Richmond trudge off the ground sullen faced makes me so very happy.

    As a positive, if we do win tomorrow, we'll get to play the GF out of our home rooms (we share with Richmond, Collingwood share with Hawthorn, so if Richmond had won we would have had to play out of the other rooms).

    Richmond finished 13th in 2016, their supporters wanted Hardwick gone but they kept him, premiership 2017.

    Collingwood finished 13th in 2017, their supporters wanted Buckley gone but they kept him...2018?

    Beat me too it, not sacking the coach has paid off twice.

    The pies are playing above themselves tonight, hard to do that 2 weeks in a row as it takes a lot out of the team mentally and physically.  We have been consistent for the last 4 games.

    Pies were very good against West coast in Perth too.

    They will be bloody hard to stop playing like that.

    If we make it, and we are still in the realms of 'if', we will need to play smart footy. Tiges needed to take the sting out of that one earlier. When they started to control the pace, they could then go hard. Instead, Collingwood took their game off them.

    If we get through, 'underdog' will suit is perfectly. The Tigers were beatable, the Pies are beatable. Would be a great matchup, and a killer GF.

    Now let's get to making it there! Can't wait for tomorrow!

    West Coast beat Collingwood at the G earlier this year.

    Collingwood weren't playing like this earlier in the year.

    Official crowd: 94,959 at the MCG . Little disappointing when so many could not get a ticket. Take it the MCC didn't all turn up .

    Grundy gave Nankervis an absolute bath, and Richmond had no midfield.  Sidebottom had an armchair ride.  Tigers did not have a Maxy to drop back into the hole and stop cox.  Tigers kept bombing it in to big outnumbers, and Riewoldt was outstanding under nearly impossible conditions.  Think if we get through we have to win the midfield, and cut out their marking on the outside.  Shut them down like we did the hawks.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
